Here's the latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com.

Music - It's Good for You
Part 1, of a 2-article series on music from a Bahá'í perspective, is a fast summary of the science behind the benefits of music. Part 2 is specific guidance from the Bahá'í Writings on how music can be food for the soul, draw disparate peoples together, and help build a better world.

As you can see, it is possible to argue either side of the religious debate about music, and find evidence to back your position. Me, I'd rather enjoy the good stuff, and especially the wonderful way that a beautiful piece of music can bring people together in harmony. And joy, and peace!
